Nancy Alhyari

An engineer and self-proclaimed “mathphile”, Nancy Alhyari is the (Acting) Chief Financial Officer of Bella and Bella Productions.

Hailing from Jordan, Nancy comes from a family of renowned doctors who taught her the value of a good education, but more importantly instilled in her the values of kindness, compassion, empathy, integrity, responsibility and humanism. Nancy was raised to see the full potential in others and use her natural gifts to support others in becoming the best version of themselves. 

Nancy firmly believes in creating spaces where women can thrive and lead through encouragement, collaboration and networking.

Nancy holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Jordan, where she successfully navigated traditionally male-dominated fields. 

Nancy has never been one to shy away from challenges; she managed a monthly magazine (for women) at the University of Jordan and on many occasions successfully petitioned management to afford female students the same opportunities as their male counterparts.

As a Unit Manager at MetLife, Nancy focused on developing the competencies of female prospects including teaching them the importance of financial planning and financial independence.

Nancy transitioned from the corporate world to education, as a result of feeling as if she could have a greater impact on young women. As an educator, Nancy is passionate about her work, taking the time to help her students learn about their personal values, strengths, interests and goals. Nancy has always believed in creating a positive, supportive environment that leverages the strengths and capabilities of individuals while encouraging productive and critical thinking.

A resident of Abu Dhabi, Nancy currently serves as an Academic Cluster Manager for public schools in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, where she strives to be a role model for her students, encouraging them to see the truth and beauty in their potential and in math.
